Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) and other films by Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul are contributions to slow cinema, an art house genre whose contemplative pacing and deprivileging of narrative are further exemplified by films such as Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972). Apichatpong describes his films as sleep inducing, which might suggest that they bore their audiences, but boredom does not necessarily cause sleep; in the absence of a goal to which one attaches attention and interest, the tension of boredom can be anxiety inducing rather than soporific. Thus, Apichatpong's description of his films is not self-deprecation; rather, his work invites sleep and thereby strips the description of its negative connotation.

Audiences will fail to enjoy both Solaris and Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives if they confuse sleepiness with boredom.

Slow-cinema films can relieve anxiety for those who embrace their languid pace, but the films increase anxiety for those experiencing boredom as a result of the lack of a cohesive narrative.

Solaris and many other slow-cinema films often induce anxiety in their audiences due to their measured pace, but films by Apichatpong do not, despite possessing other traits characteristic of the genre.

It would be a misunderstanding to interpret Apichatpong's reflection on his work as a confession of his failure, because the effects his films produce on audiences are intentional.
